This article explains how clients can manage payment methods on the Deel platform, including how to add, delete, and, when needed, update access permissions..
Payment methods can be added directly during the payment flow or via the Organization Settings.
Before Starting
- Only Organization Admins can add or delete payment methods
- An Organization Admin must enable the payment method for each group that should be able to use it (Note: Organization Admins themselves can use any payment method regardless of group assignment.)
- Once a method is enabled for a group, that group’s Administrators and Controllers will be able to use it to make payments for their group

Verification Process and Specific Requirements
Adding a Payment Method
Payment methods can be added either during the payment flow or via the Organization Settings.
✅ Step 1 – Select the entry point
From Organization Settings, go to Billing & Payments, then select Payment Methods and Automations. Click Add under Payment Methods.
During the payment flow, after selecting the invoices to be paid, click Change Method or Select a Payment Method (if none has been added yet). Then click Add New Method.
✅ Step 2 - Select the countries where the payments will be made from
Selecting All Countries enables all available payment methods for selection. If the client has multiple entities on Deel, the option All Countries will be selected by defaul so that they can see the full list of available methods.
When a specific country is selected, only the payment methods available for that country will be shown.
Some payment methods, like manual transfer and other alternatives, won’t appear in this list but can still be accessed. For more, please see the Manual Transfers section below.
✅ Step 3 - Select the payment method
If adding a BREX payment method, clients will be directed to log into their Brex account to complete the setup.
✅ Step 4 - Add payment method details
This step applies only to certain payment methods.
Depending on the payment method selected, you may be required to verify the payment method. In those cases, you won’t need to manually add the payment method details; they will be completed as part of the verification process.
More details are provided in the verification section below.
✅ Step 5 - Review details
Review the information and click Confirm.
When setting up a payment method for the first time or adding a new one, clients will have the option to enable automatic payments during the review stage. When enabled, automatic invoice payments apply at the organization level across all products.
Clients can toggle this option off if they prefer not to automatically pay invoices for the organization.
For more, please see the How to Set Up Automatic Payments for Workers article.
Verification Process and Specific Requirements
For payment methods such as ACH, BECS, SEPA, BACS, and PAD, clients must complete a verification step, either through instant verification via Plaid or manual verification. Clients may also need to submit a recent bank statement as part of this process.
Verification via Plaid
Clients choosing this option will be redirected to Plaid and guided through the process to connect and verify their account instantly.
Manual Verification
The manual verification process differs slightly for ACH vs. other payment methods:
For ACH
- After providing their bank account number and routing number, Deel will send two small micro-deposits to the account.
- The client must enter the exact amounts of these deposits to verify the account (with up to three attempts).
- If the client fails to enter the correct values after three attempts, they must complete verification by uploading a recent bank statement.
For SEPA,BECS, BACS, and PAD
Clients who do not use Plaid must manually verify their account by uploading a recent bank statement as requested by Deel.
Manual Transfers
Manual transfers are completed outside the Deel platform using the client’s own bank account, Wise, Mercury, or Coinbase. Once a manual transfer method is added, clients can begin making payments immediately.
Manual transfers will be listed below Linked Payment Methods. Click the arrow to see the available methods
For supported currencies, please refer to the Supported Payment Methods and Currencies for Client Account Funding article
Deleting and Managing Access
Once the method is added (via Organization Settings > Billing & Payments > Payment Methods & Automations), clients can click on the payment method and select Remove, or click the pencil icon to edit group access by toggling the appropriate groups.
